How to Install Your Fonts

Start Using Your Fonts Right Away. Here's How


Using your new fonts

Static desktop fonts come in OpenType (.otf) and TrueType (.ttf) formats. Variable fonts are TrueType (.ttf) only. All formats install the same way, but .otf works on more platforms, and .ttf variable fonts need a system that supports variable fonts. Installation steps differ slightly by operating system, so close all applications before you start.



Install on macOS

  1. Download the font files.
  2. Right-click the font file(s) and choose Open With > Font Book.
  3. In the Font Book window, click Install Font.
  4. Font Book validates and installs the font automatically.



Install on Windows

  1. Download and unzip the font package.
  2. Double-click the font file.
  3. Click Install at the top of the preview window..
